May11Marianne OMGosh. I logged into my email after 2 small gsslaes of wine and saw Miss Hall with this in her hand. Gave me quite a belly roll chuckle. Haven't seen a telephone receiver like that since I was a kid and we had a red wall phone in the kitchen! Love it and I do want one!

Actually, during the normal operation, this space should be filled with water, and these pipes (parosbrosnye = steam take-off) should be submerged. The pipes eject the excess steam from the reactor and water quickly cools down and condensates the steam. This water is circulated and cooled down through the separated circuits that consist of dedicated pumps and heat exchangers. In case of any gas leakage other than steam, the gas is contained, filtered and released through the "famous" chimney.

When I saw this picture I instinctively drew back from the monitor.

Russians have said that they've sent humans to inspect the interior of the no. 4 reactor building years after the accident and they have taken these photos. Since the lava has cooled down, the radiation levels (in some rooms only) are low enough to allow very short tours to people wearing protective suits. I have read that long time ago and there is no way that I can recall the reference on that. Sorry. Some rooms were inspected by drilling holes through walls, some are still uninspected.

Looks like a pile of elephant poo. It was probably the same elephant, foot of which you can see in prevous pictures (tee-hee). Seriously though, just looking at this makes me think of a Geiger counter going into overload. Creepy stuff.

I don't think a person would die a slow and painful death. Something giving off 10,000-20,000 Roentgens of radiation would fry a person in a matter of minutes. Additionally, since our nerve ending are not designed to pick up radiation, the death might not be painful either.

The reason why radiation sickness is painful is because the body is slowly destroyed by the radiation. In this case, by the time the body began to break down, the person would be dead already. No?

Just looking at that makes you want to run away from it.

That would be a picture taken via robot. No human could survive exposure.

How the hell do you get that close to the FCM without dying a slow and painful death?

Visible light only, you say? Just try to expose film on x-rays or gamma-rays and look at the result.

Photographic equipment is designed to capture visible light. Gamma ray would just penetrate the equipment,

probly just reflective, on its way down it melted anything in its path and it got added to the gloob.

Is the indicated yellow area reflective or still "hot"?

and at the time there was gamma radiation all over the place, it would have not just made a line, but would have been all over the place. and if gamma radiation does that to photos then all photos would have black lines in them. (you are constantly being exposed to backround radiation. it is from the ground and is natural, from the uranium that is found in the ground, and from space.)

That line is probably the result of a gamma ray strike on the CCD.
